Knocking Your Socks Off!

I know what you're thinking. Socks? Really? Are they that important? I'm sure many of you don't think they are.

In which case, I present the knowledge of one of my fictional mentors:

"One can never have enough socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a pair. People will insist on giving me books." - Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

The wisdom of Harry Potter's headmaster is something I feel we all can appreciate in these cold winter months after Christmas. For socks, though a simple addition to one’s wardrobe, is an important one.

Did you know that simply wearing socks to bed during the cold months keeps you warmer as you sleep? Also, for those of you looking for a fun way to spice up your usual work attire, how about slipping on some rainbow-striped knee socks under your slacks? There's even fun and clever things to do with socks that have since lost their mate to that monster we all have in our dryers that loves to eat socks and leave us without a full pair.
